Well I have just been completely stung. Was blissfully paying £67 pcm for duel fuel on 3 bed detached. Was then told I was £450 in arrears . Have paid off arrears, and now monthly payment has gone up to £151.

We only have electric and pay £74 a month. This is for a small 2 bed apartment - no tumble dryer and we both work (so out all day). No central heating - just one storage heater. Your bill seems low to me!

Live in a mainly timber house with mega insulation, no tumble dryer or dishwasher as I do not need them. Electricity is about £ 50 a quarter since I only have an electric hob and hopefully that will be replaced soon, everything else runs of a wind turbine. Hot water and background heat are via solar tubes in summer plus a wood burner in the winter which cost practically nothing to run (£40 this year).

bureni, very envious. We have lived in a Victorian semi for 5 years. No central heating, just 2 horrid storage heaters upstairs and 2 ancient gas fires downstairs. No tumble or dishwasher. £73 a month but will go up for winter. Mostly electric. Hate living in a drafty, uninsulated house, such a waste of energy and money. We rent, so can't change anything.
